“I
adore the smell of a cake baking in the oven, its one of those heartwarming
aromas that remind us of a better time and the comforts of home.”

“The secret ingredient in
light-and-fluffy sponge cakes is air”

There is nothing quite as satisfying as serving up a generous wedge of
home-baked cake, bread or a satisfyingly sweet pastry..and let’s be honest, its difficult to beat the taste of something that’s been baked at home, whether it’s a simple
sponge, a banana cake or even warm freshly baked bread. Baking at home seems to be more
and more popular these day’s and its easy to see why, it is relaxing, rewarding
and great fun.

The
markets are bursting with fresh fruits including luscious strawberries,
stunning looking cherries, thirst quenching melons, the season’s first figs, awesome apricots, plums, nectarines and succulent peaches are
all jostling for position on the local market stalls.

Although I absolutely adore all these fruits, for
my money, nothing beats the succulence of sweet, aromatic Mediterranean
peaches, bursting with flavour.

They provide delicious eating but can also be used
in so many different and interesting ways in the kitchen. They can be poached
in sugar syrup with cinnamon, vanilla and cloves, roasted with cardamom or
pan-fried and caramelised with brown sugar and almonds. Peaches also make
perfect partners for champagne, cassis and calvados and they combine perfectly
with ginger, lemons, oranges, strawberries and hazelnuts. Pan-fried foie gras
or roast duck are amazingly good with glazed peaches and sweet and sour peach
chutney can really liven up cold meats, pâté and salads.
